Corner Restaurant and Bar, located at First and Main streets in the Aloft Louisville Downtown Hotel, is closing for renovations and expects to reopen in advance of The Who concert at the KFC YUM! Center on March 12.

The bar, which opened in November with the new boutique hotel, is increasing the size of its kitchen to better serve customers attending events downtown, according to a news release.

The facility is also gearing up to host the Bud Light Lounge in conjunction with the 2016 NCAA Division I men's basketball South Regional Championship March 24 – 26. The event on March 24 and March 26 will feature live music, promotions and beer specials at Corner Restaurant and Bar.

“It’s been great to see locals embrace Corner as a go-to spot to grab a quick bite to eat and drinks before events at the YUM! Center,” said Kelly Salat, director of food and beverage at the Aloft. “To keep up with demand and open up the possibilities for lunch, we’re expanding and renovating the kitchen."

Corner will also open its patio for regular seating in mid-March, weather permitting. The patio is to get new and more comfortable furniture, the release said.
